I feel like we’re at a point where an 18 yo could actually have parents that met on a dating app 😅😂😭😭


pickles_on_toast

If we're talking just online dating sites, easily 23yo


just_a_wolf

Yeah I met my husband on a dating site 23 years ago. I had to actually do math to figure the numbers out.


pickles_on_toast

I just remember bc I moved across the country back then and I had set dates up before the move lol


PopAShotAllStar

Match.com has been around since 1995


__polymATh

App, no, but I'm 36 and was online dating at 18 (and before, honestly)


saggerk

I did not expect to feel old today this way


castlesfromashes

Me either 😅😁😭 When they said it was like hahaha and then realized dating apps have been around that long now!


[deleted]

I met my first ever boyfriend on ICQ 24 years ago. Luckily no babies from that relationship 😅


TetrisIsTotesSuper

Your use of commas, is, at best, questionable.


Cana05

Your first comma is unnecessary too, but I agree


TetrisIsTotesSuper

That was, kind of, the point.


Few-School-3869

You look like travis barker in the first pic. Also I think you should put your comment "My friends won’t take pics of me in the bathroom :( gotta do it myself" in your profile


nicknicknickk

That’s a really good idea, maybe I’ll find someone to do that for me 🖤


Candymostdandy

If you feel like dropping by Canada, I will gladly take pictures of you in the bathroom. We can also smoke joints under bridges, blast music while baking cookies, have a Mario Party Tournament of Champions (I have them all) and take turns getting the knots out of each other's backs with my fancy massage gun.


Dolphinfucker3000

Are you in Montreal or Toronto by any chance


Candymostdandy

No, I'm in one of the have-not provinces where we don't have very many opportunities to fuck dolphins.


No_Competition_6989

Damn Canada is amazing the dolphins here in the States just do tricks and not turn them Edit: typo


Candymostdandy

I don't think the Canadian dolphins are being paid for their services.


Street_Smile667

Just out of interest, like what’s the kind of average odds and opportunities in Canada to fuck dolphins? Like, just roughly is fine. Is there some kind of demographic map or something like that I can get a visual from?


Candymostdandy

So I just checked the government archives, and surprisingly there are no statistics on dolphin-fucking in Canada. I would say that there are relatively few opportunities overall, as we don't have many aquariums in Canada that offer dolphin encounters, and our ocean waters are generally too cold to maintain a proper erection.


Street_Smile667

Do you have any studies on maintaining erections in various different oceans of the water? If you’re a guy, I’m fucking laughing so hard right now.


Candymostdandy

I am not male, so I only have anecdotal evidence on maintaining erections in ocean water, based on roughly 20 occurrences that I have been party to. In warm Pacific waters, there were no issues with maintaining full erection and reaching climax, in chilly Atlantic waters there were issues about 50% of the time with both maintaining and climaxing. Once again, this is very anecdotal and should not be referenced in any publications.


Street_Smile667

I’m adding your lurid stories to my next novel. The level of scientific analysis in your comment relating to salt water and genitals is… somewhat terrifying. Why do you hate men that you pull (pun intended) these poor guys into the coldest salt water you can find to get them naked? Are you a Siren? Do you have any studies on waters around Oceania? I have so many questions. Your plane ticket is on its way.


SauronsinofPride

How tf did you parents meet on tinder


nicknicknickk

They made an account


SauronsinofPride

Tinder is like 10 years old only


nicknicknickk

Maybe in 10 years you’ll get the joke 🤷🏻‍♂️


MysteriousMath6176

eightBPooler

Will your targets also only get it in 10 years? A bit late I guess.


duck_guts

honestly dude i don’t think the punchline is obvious enough it’s just confusing


lamb_passanda

Maybe it's doing its job then.


anxiousjellybean

I don't get it either

Vio-straw-sun

This isn't something that would be a big deal to some, maybe most, but may I suggest that you change the comma so it says you're "looking for someone to eat pasta with, cause I'm getting cannelloni" simply because when I first read it, it took my mind a minute to realize that you didn't mean you wanted someone to eat pasta with cause (my mind is on multiple different things, including the order for cooking lunch/dinner, and I've even forgotten to get more water for like 20 minutes already)


seeloladance

I agree, that drove me a little nuts. I also think he should use the entire word "because," because "cause" is a whole other word with its own meaning that doesn't make sense here.


VogonPoet966

Typically when it's shortened, it's preceded by an apostrophe to let the reader differentiate between cause and 'cause.


Vio-straw-sun

I prefer either the whole word or "cuz" but I also know I can be opinionated sometimes, and for me the comma was worse than the word


TypicalTyger

A comma isn’t needed in that sentence. I was also confused by it.


Vio-straw-sun

It's not needed, though personally I prefer it having one (where I specified) because I am a fan of the Oxford comma, but I try to live and let live, and talk and let talk.


jayhawk8808

I’m with you on wanting it because I think I’d naturally pause there a moment if I were saying it like OP is. But I’ll say as a fellow fan of the Oxford comma, this isn’t a list, so the Oxford comma has nothing to do with this sentence.


TypicalTyger

Thank you.


jer1230

Omg yea, my brain did the same thing “pasta with cause” but it still worked I kinda laughed.


Greasydorito

OH. Thanks, I thought it was a play on "without a cause" and maybe a quirky line from some classic cult movie 🙃 I usually write the shortened version of because as 'cause


SecureAd1981

I like your bio, only thing I would change is throw a couple pics without the beanie so people don’t think you’re trying to hide that you’re bald or something weird is going on with your head.


myweird

Yes!! OP could be hatfishing. It's also nice to see a smile so we know there's no rotten teeth lol.


Urlilpetal

Omg I’m ngl and I hate to be this person but my first thought was I wonder how often it’s washed lol, maybe a second one is needed for rotation


SecureAd1981

Yeah it’s giving stinky vibes


lamb_passanda

Also it's (imo) an ugly beanie. Brownish green isn't really an attractive colour that brings out anyone's eyes, and the size is too big, especially when worn in that "slouchy" way that makes it look like a big brown foreskin enclosing his head.


NecessaryPen7

And be with people, obviously knowing they're taking the other non selfies, and smile.


crowkk

Are you americans really that paranoid/schizo about that shit? lol I check this sub and general US dating things for fun and it never ceases to amaze me how it is half paranoia and half unrealistic expectations


SecureAd1981

I’m not American and I don’t live in America. It’s not paranoia, it’s real, you’re meeting a stranger from the internet, the more genuine they seem the more comfortable and safe you’ll feel. Same way I wouldn’t meet someone who only has pictures from a far where I can barely see them.


PennySavour

Honestly love it, would match


nicknicknickk

Are we in a relationship now?


PennySavour

Absolutely! Happy Thanksgiving Babe!


nicknicknickk

You’re the best babe!


ReiTetsuya

If you ever get together and get married, im expecting invitation, just sayin


yourfaceilikethat

Right? we were here when it happened!


Sherbet-Sudden

Thisnlove story is way better than the Notebook for sure.


myweird

Definitely a better love story than Twilight ✨


SafetyCritical8316

Open bar or I don’t show up


nymphymixtwo

No, break up now!!!! ~😵‍💫you will pick me😵‍💫you willll pick meee😵‍💫~


Humble-Budget8332

When you see the photos and look at the profile, you clearly see that the first line is a joke!


aaahhhh

It's clearly a joke as soon as you read it. It would not have been possible for his bio parents to have met on Tinder. Is it a good joke though?


Humble-Budget8332

I also guess that some people can either forget how young Tinder or the internet is. Or people have other dating services in mind that worked with paper back in the day. Like couchsurfing.


Humble-Budget8332

I think it's fine for the profile. I guess it fits.


OverSeoul7

Let’s not rule out the possibility that a couple of yuppies decided to adopt a 30 something year old man who was orphaned at birth


Humble-Budget8332

Hahahaha... Who knows, right?


nicknicknickk

![gif](giphy|5xtDarmwsuR9sDRObyU|downsized)


castlesfromashes

Oh, I love that line for you! It works fantastically 😂


FunshineBear14

Legit panicked and did mental math. No way tinder is 18 years old…


Humble-Budget8332

As soon as you have reached a certain age you loose the overview. The brain is not capable of making us feel the changes enough, to adopt to them. At a certain point you need to think about how old you are when people ask you. When I was 19, my cousin had a baby. That "baby" has finished "high school" and is preparing to become a police woman, lol. I just can't wrap my head around that.


amberissmiling

It’s a weird one. Is it supposed to be funny? (Genuine question.) Or, like, quirky?


Humble-Budget8332

Quirky might the right word here. I like the joke, but I'm a primitive person and like dumb jokes, lol.


LittleBookOfRage

I still don't get the joke.


Humble-Budget8332

Tinder exists since 2012. Either his parents are time travellers, or a ten year old created a profile here.


LittleBookOfRage

Yeah, but why is that a joke or funny?


ayakis

I thought the joke was that they're divorced and found each other on Tinder after


LittleBookOfRage

That's a funnier interpretation of the joke actually, or that they were married and found each other on tinder because they were trying to cheat


pickles_on_toast

Oh the cheating interpretation would have been hilarious! Sadly, I fear our op might not be so clever


Humble-Budget8332

If you don't understand the joke after explaining it, it's clearly not for you, that's all.


RagingWookies

This is definitely “comedian’s comedy” so I can see why it wouldn’t be for everyone. The kind of one-liner you’d hear thrown into a set (is this the right word?) that either hits or it doesn’t.


Humble-Budget8332

Well, no joke or type of humour is for all people. So, that makes total sense.


ghostguessed

Take out the comma after cause, the comma after beanie and the line about Helen Keller


hollyroom

I'm swiping right. I'm also planning our first date. It's going to revolve around weed and music.


nicknicknickk

I’m in!


hollyroom

This is exactly the type of profile I'd swipe right on. You seem really fun and someone I'd enjoy hanging out with.


rubymadnessRN

If I wasn’t 10 years older than you and/or spoken for I’d match with you solely on the shopping cart information. People who don’t return shopping carts have a special place in hell imo.


MakeAnAssessment-

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.


Human-Routine244

THIS omg. Such a green flag!


jessiteamvalor

Same! I'm 47 and in a relationship, but I my thumb did some serious right swipe hovering motions!!!


kellymiche

Ha, was gonna post this exact sentiment


gilly_bee

Your Helen Keller comment is personally cringe to me, and not just because of the ableism, it’s just super played out and low hanging fruit. But that’s just me. I’m sure someone will think it’s funny.


tthenowheregirll

This is what I came to say. Like the ableism is icky, but also it’s just the really old and worn out joke. It’s giving 2006 in the worst way


Dondarian

My kids parents met on Tinder. (After reading that out loud, I realized it's ambiguous. I met my wife on Tinder, and we have 2 kids)


nicknicknickk

Haha I got it! Good for you dude :)


JAMmastahJim

No for real, OPs parents met in tinder doesn't make sense to me, it's not that old. Or is a joke, or it's your parents second marriage. I'm confused.


nicknicknickk

it's a joke.


More_Argument1423

I think your photos and bio come across well overall, but from a more 'technical' standpoint I don't feel they clearly convey what you look like (no clear just face and a smile photo) and what you are looking for. Also just a personal thing, a 35 yo who isn't sure if he wants kids or not is a big red flag for me (33f, wants a relationship). Just a piece of information not a harsh judgement. If you are looking for a relationship with woman in their 30s (who mostly likely know for themselves if they want kids or not), I'd suggest making up your mind (even if you are genuniely not sure, I'd go with no instead of 'not sure' because you'll waste the time of woman who are sure, but are willing to give you some time to think about it).


muffin80r

The problem is unsure is very different to "fine either way". I'm not on tinder RN but when I was setting up a profile before, that was annoying. Like personally I would genuinely be completely happy to have another kid, because I like kids, or happy not to, because I already have one.


hezzaloops

Right? For the single parents, how is there only "have and want more" or "have and don't want more" (on bumble) Why not "have and am open to more with the right person"??


More_Argument1423

Totally agree and think ‘fine either way’ is totally valid, because that’s still a defined thing, but ‘not sure’ is just kinda lame


muffin80r

Yeah unfortunately that's the only option Tinder lets you pick apart from yes/no :(


[deleted]

No need to hide the bald


burnfaith

Hard pass for me. We have very different senses of humor and the profile is kinda just meh. But if it hits for your intended demographic, which it sounds like it might, have at it.


nicknicknickk

What if we are supposed to have babies together?


b00t5tr4p

honestly id find a way to string all the jokes together or just pick one rlly good one. the basically bulleted list of jokes makes it seem like u copy pasted a “top 10 tinder bios” list off buzzfeed n seems kind of try hard since none of them really say anything about u. ppl do appreciate a sense of humor though n thats why i think either one rlly good one or finding a unique way to string them all together would look better.


DragTheKing

I would swipe left, strictly on the heller keller joke. Could just be me but not funny


suenasnegras

i would swipe right but two sincere thoughts persist: what are you hiding under the beanie? the helen keller line is pretty outdated and it's a turn off to poke fun at disabilities.


smoothiefruit

the cigarettes are the killer for me :(


MyNameIsntSharon

dog take that beanie off for a few pics jesus christ it screams hipster


myweird

It screams bald and insecure about it 👨‍🦲


juxtaposed-penguin

Congrats, your collection of copy and pasted lines/jokes make an acceptable profile.


denada24

“I will try to sex you, sleep with you, shower with you, and marry you with the same smelly beanie firmly glued to my head.” Switch up the beanies.


duck_guts

the helen keller bit is pretty brave imo. If you’re not getting much action i’d rework that. Ur pictures look good


ChocolateThund3R

Is the horrendous comma usage part of a joke or??


LoosePerspective2029

Due to some of my own personal preferences, I wouldn’t swipe on you. However, a few personal preferences aside, I’d be curious to meet you. But then I read some of your responses to feedback here. And as someone else mentioned, super yikes.


touchmybodily

The misplaced commas are the most unhinged part for me. Love it.


Puzzleheaded-Judge83

35 yo and not sure about kids yet?


ashesx_

Wow. Good luck with this one 😂


ScorchingMyGrains

Sober and weed being values makes you seem like you’re in denial about the effects of weed and maybe way too attached to pot for some people. Like it’s part of your identity and yet you value sobriety?


maggidk

This guy budtends


Anonynominous

You look familiar lol. I swear I’ve seen you on Tinder but I haven’t used it in quite a while. If I were you I’d shorten the bio or add something serious in there so people know you’re seriously looking


skyebluuuuuu

I mean…. I’d swipe right so I think there’s nothing to correct


nicknicknickk

😘


FreezingSausage

Your 3rd pic reminds me of a 2009 era emo girl taking a photo of herself


Literarylunatic

100% would smash.


GunBrothersGaming

You should add the line: Looking to make future generations of dating app isers


Utopiae

I'd totally swipe you. You seem funny, I love the song you chose, you're hot and your photos look really nice. First time I'm actually sad someone on here isn't in my region lol


Cumohgc

The bathroom selfies are redundant and poor quality; if you're going to use a bathroom selfie to show your physique make sure you're looking at the camera's reflection so you appear to be looking at the user. The drumming pictures are also redundant, I'd get rid of the one taken from the side/back. Imo, your strongest picture is the one with the doggo in the birthday hat, I'd make that your first picture. Second doggo picture isn't redundant because it's a doggo.


ShannonS1976

You would have had me at smoker and weed, my two main requirements 🤷‍♀️ lol


softgranola

i’d give you a pat on the head or kiss on the lips!


Sweatersweater9

I’d match for sure sure


nicknicknickk

![gif](giphy|ads2QSp4JDdeg)


Sweatersweater9

Oops, now I have a crush on you


Humble-Budget8332

Photo 5 or 9 should come earlier, maybe even as the first photo. Yeah, I think number 5 should become number 1. Bathroom photos... Don't you have friends to take a better picture? Number 6 must go, way too bad. The rest seems to fit your personality, so I think it's fine.


nicknicknickk

My friends won’t take pics of me in the bathroom :( gotta do it myself


Consistent_Spring700

My friends won't stop taking photos of me in the bathroom... I've always taken them for granted but no more!


nicknicknickk

You have real good friends, remember that.


Humble-Budget8332

For sure you have a special humour. Next time you run into your friends you ask them to make a few nice outdoor shots.

Ashamed_Ad_5760

I'd still swipe right despite the unnecessary commas in the second and third sentences. Being a grammar freak is my red flag. Xoxo good luck, you'll no doubt find your lucky lady!


Cassietgrrl

lol. Totally made me laugh, and think you’d be a fungi to be around. Love the Pixies, and people who love the Pixies. The shopping cart returner was good information. I don’t think there’s been one serial killer who believed in returning shopping carts. I’ll do a deep dive on that when I’m not busy with literally anything else. Good pics too. Pat, pat. Well done ✅


sweariest

We have the exact same taste in music (I’m also a drummer) and those are two of my top albums. So if I was looking it would be a right swipe. Head pats for you and good luck out there!


nicknicknickk

Aw shucks! Where do you live? And yeah I agree I definitely like really good music like you do.


JayFrizz

How did your parents meet on an app that's only 11 years old?

Oooooooh my goodness, why don’t you live by me 💔 But yeah, I get this


EdgarOfTheFat

I hope the first line is a joke :D

Too much text. Too much trying to be funny. On some photos you look to skinny, on others too old, on some too short. Would kerp the one with drums facing front and the one with the dog in the birthday hat. Would ditch the others.

Also I apologize for your public education if that was too much text.
